Let me see if I got this right, hang with me here...

So, us taxpayers pay our taxes so the government can buy stuff, then when they don't want it anymore we have to buy it....again?

:popcorn:

Nevertheless, it is a cool site. How in the world did you find it?

I'll venture to guess that these items were seized due to some type of criminal activity, and they're just selling it off. A lot of items seized (cars, trucks, boats, and planes) are used in future investigations and stings and sold afterward.

Some awesome deals on there. You just have to be in striking distance of a military base or other gov't outlet.

I was doing a google search for Gortex bivys - and low and behold it popped up -It looks like a way they liquidate older US GI property

Ever wonder where all those surplus Army uniforms, backpacks , etc.... I think guys buy up lots on this site , break it up and sell individually on eBay

They got some killer Duece and a half Army trucks that would be awesome for a ranch or swamp buggy -
